Look away Potterheads, this one isn’t good news for you! Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming open-world RPG set in the Potter universe, may be suffering from development troubles which have stemmed rumours of the game being delayed even further.

After reports last month that we’d be receiving an update on the game sometime soon, it looks like that may no longer be the positive news we were hoping for. In a recent VGC Sacred Symbols podcast episode, host Colin Moriarty announced that the chances of Hogwarts Legacy releasing in 2022 looks to be diminishing. This is because developer Avalanche Software have unfortunately been succumbed to development issues forcing Warner Bros. to aim for a more realistic 2023 release.

“I am hearing behind the scenes that [the] game [Hogwarts Legacy] is not coming out this year, and that it’s in some sort of trouble,” said Moriarty without clarifying the rumoured development challenges”.

Will Hogwarts Legacy Ever Be Released?

Obviously, this isn’t the first time Potter fans have been left disappointed. The game was supposed to be in our hands already with an initial 2021 release, which was subsequently pushed into 2022. This original delay is understandable due to a little thing called a world wide pandemic, but this one looks to be slightly more worrying.

But what exactly are the problems surrounding the game? According to reports, some parts of the story and characters are being rewritten, which can hopefully only be a good thing. It shows the developers don’t want to release a rushed title, which we’re all here for. However, there’s only so much patience fans can persist with.

With Sony Interactive Entertainment supposedly hosting its first State of Play of 2022 next month, Hogwarts was going to be one of the main games displayed. Apparently, we were going to receive new game play footage, updates on the game as well as a release date. Whilst the footage could still happen, it looks more likely now that Avalanche are going to be confirming the games delay. What a shame.

Everything We Know About Hogwarts Legacy So Far

Despite the fact the games marketing has been absent since its launch trailer, we do know a little bit about it already. As previously mentioned, the game will take place in the Harry Potter universe and will give you the chance to explore iconic locations such as Hogwarts and The Forbidden Forest. You’ll be taking on a variety of tasks by learning spells to enhance your experience in the Wizarding World.

According to a Bloomberg report in 2021, Hogwarts Legacy will let you choose a masculine or feminine voice, body type, and dorm placement as “witch” or “wizard” independently when creating a student.

“Some members of the Hogwarts Legacy development team have fought to make the game as inclusive as possible, pushing for the character customisation and even for a transgender character to be added,” Bloomberg says. “There was resistance from management at first, the people familiar with the project said, but currently the character customisation is included in the game.”

Additionally, there seems to be suggestions that players will be able to learn the Dark Arts provided that they branch their role-playing story the right way. Ever wanted to join Voldemort in his cause? It looks like you’ll be able to get your chance. If you need some Wizarding fun to keep you going until then, why not pick up the highly acclaimed LEGO Harry Potter game from our store right here!

The post Could Hogwarts Legacy Be Delayed Even Further? first appeared on Get2Gaming.

It’s the new year and it looks like new projects are on the horizon for the director of acclaimed driving series DriveClub. Paul Rustchnysky has announced that he has been working alongside Avalanche Studio’s new Liverpool team to develop a brand new title which will be announced later this year. However, there’s some bad news for DriveClub fans as it will not be a racing game. Time to put that DriveClub 2 wish list away from another year, I suppose.

Rustchynsky, who was also lead designer on several MotorStorm titles at Sony’s Evolution Studios, had this to say upon the matter:

“In 2021 we (Avalanche Studios Group) opened a new studio in Liverpool, an exciting moment for me having achieved one of my career goals,” Rustchynsky wrote on Twitter. “In 2022 we’ll get to announce the game we’ve been working on for the past year”.

He added: “To set some expectations, I’m not working on a racing game. So sorry, no DRIVECLUB sequel, MotorStorm successor or ONRUSH offshoot. This is something very different to anything I’ve worked on before.”

Additionally, the infamous director went on to explain that this will be an original venture. “There are more projects being worked on at Avalanche than most people would expect!”

This will come as a surprise for many fans, but that doesn’t necessarily mean its an unwelcome one! This could be the start of something very exciting and we cannot wait to see what they have to offer. Especially with the new Avalanche Liverpool branch, which seems to be looking very exciting indeed.

Following Evolution Studios’ closure in 2016, the majority of its staff were hired by Codemasters to work on a new racing project.

However, following disappointing sales of 2018’s Onrush, several members of the Codemasters EVO development division, including Rustchynsky, were reportedly let go and the division shifted towards a support role for other titles, such as 2020’s Dirt 5.

The post DriveClub Director To Announce New Game Soon first appeared on Get2Gaming.

A peak back into the wizarding world could be coming soon than expected! Despite the original trailer, the only news fans have heard about the upcoming game is that it will be released after the next Fantastic Beasts film. Unfortunately, fans have been left in the dark in pretty much every other aspect of the games release. That won’t stop us from getting excited however. We’ve seen fan-requested Hogwarts features and gameplay mechanics being shared online in hope that the developers pay attention. These include desires for social simulation similar to Persona 5 or Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Now that would be pretty amazing.

However, we’ve received an update. Whisper it quietly, but a reputable leaker has resurfaced once again and offers us hope they we will receive more news about the game sometime soon. We can only hope this is true. Before we delve into exactly what’s been said, have a quick reminder of the games trailer which got us all hyped quite some time ago!

Leaker Expects Update On Hogwarts: Legacy

Video game anlyst and PlayStation insider Millie Amand is the person we should be thanking at this time! She said a simple yet effective ‘Soon…’ on her twitter account, swiftly followed by a Hogwarts Legacy GIF. We know exactly what you’re thinking here. How can you trust a leaker? Well luckily for us, despite her being fairly new on the scene, she does have a credible history behind her. For example, she was supposedly the individual who uncovered the Marvel’s Wolverine leak, as well as various other Sony rumours.

Soon… pic.twitter.com/hnWo6akOKB

— Millie A (@millieamand) November 10, 2021

Furthermore, Amands previous remarks have hinted at a showing at the Geoof Keighley’s Game Awards. These are set to be shown on December 9, which gives us hope we’ll finally get news then. According to Amand, Hogwarts Legacy was meant to be ‘shown at the PlayStation Showcase but assets weren’t ready for the show’. Well that’s bitterly disappointing indeed, but should come as no surprise seeing the game has already been delayed by a year.

Notwithstanding Millie’s reputation, Harry Potter fans should be excited regardless. Surely the developers realise we’ve been waiting ever so patiently for any sort of news. Let’s just hope they recognise it quick enough where our hype for this game doesn’t disappear. In all honesty, that’s very unlikely. Just by looking at these screenshots below we can tell Avalanche Studios are plotting something massive here. We cannot wait.

Looking for some sort of fantasy adventure to keep you going in the meantime? Be sure to pick up a copy of Dark Souls 3 right here! You won’t regret it.

An all NEW and edgy trailer has been released for the upcoming game!

The all new video, which has been captured “directly from console”, has been released by developer Avalanche Studios. Expect everything, from high-speed car chases to helicopter dog fights. The video proves just how unforgiving the new game is and how far it has been pushed to reach it’s full potential!

Square Enix, the publisher of the game, has revealed that the Weaponised Vehicle Pack will be made available to those who pre-order, and this is shown at the end of the trailer. The bonus comes with three “exclusive luxury vehicles primed for action and fully loaded with the fire power to kick-start a revolution.”

Just Cause 3
Coming to PS4, Xbox One & PC in 2015!

Swedish developer, Avalanche Studios, have confirmed the rumours that Just Cause 3 is in development and will be coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC in the coming year! The most recent of the franchise is Just Cause 2, which was release back in 2010.

Game Informer editors are said to have played the game for several hours and have reported back that the game’s grapple mechanics and parachute have been improved. As well as this, you get a brand new wingsuit! Going into the game’s setting, you will be situated in a fictional Mediterranean archipelago.

Avalanche’s New York City office is where it’s all happening in terms of the game being in development. 2015 is also rather a big year for Avalanche as they plan to launch Mad Max for PC and consoles!
